Did the person writing this really think of the Tiananmen Square veterans as being like chickens? If he or she was not really making sense of the phrase as involving domestic avian species of some sort, it’s not an eggcorn.

Btw, welcome back to the forum. (Though you may well have been lurking since the last post 3½ years ago.) More Davids are always welcome …

Thanks to all you ‘eggcornista’. Indeed I am a somewhat occasional contributor – but I’ll try and see if I can ‘up’ my batting average here ! What a fascinating group you are. Tally Ho ! (any ideas on etymology anyone …) DavidB
